> In OData-958 we added FilterRestrictions and SortRestrictions to NavigationPropertyDescriptions.  This gave us a place to define such restrictions on collection-valued navigation properties.  However, we missed some other restrictions and, in OData-1055, proposed to add one of these (DeepInsertSupport) as an annotation that could be applied to a "Collection" (i.e., a collection-valued navigation property).  This has a number of issues:
> 1) It uses the new "Collection" value in AppliesTo, which we did not want to return to OData 4.0 clients,
> 2) It underspecifies where DeepInsertSupport can be applied (i.e., it doesn't make sense for collection-valued structural properties),
> 3) It creates multiple places for the client to look to figure out what it can/can't do for a particular navigation property
> 4) It puts the annotation on the navigation property within the type, which makes it difficult to re-use that type.
> A better, more consistent approach would be to add to NavigationPropertyRestrictions all of the restrictions we currently have for EntitySets.
